Where is the fuel pump relay switch for a 1995 explorer XL?

The fuel pump relay location on a 1995 Ford Explorer XL isn't standardized across all builds (some were in the underhood fuse box, others in the passenger compartment fuse box). To find it definitively, you need to do two things:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source. It will have a diagram of the fuse box(es) showing the relay locations.

2. Check both fuse boxes: Locate both the underhood fuse box (usually near the battery) and the interior fuse box (often under the dashboard, near the steering column). Look carefully at the diagrams inside the lids of each box. The relay may be labeled "Fuel Pump," or something similar, like "EFI" (Electronic Fuel Injection) or even just a number. Some diagrams even show a pictorial representation of the relays.

Important Note: Before working on any electrical components, disconnect the negative terminal of your battery to avoid shorts or injury.
